Dec. 22nd, 2004 01:39 pmYe gods, I miss my laptop!
Hopefully, Engineering will get it back to me sometime in the next six months... until then, I'm using the team PC. Now that I'm on the Custom team, I was tempted to point out that with the heavier use of M$ Office, they might have to order me in a license, as the Level 3 Release team used OpenOffice.org. No chance of that now.
Occassinally OOo would get in my way, and I'd get nostalgic. However, now that I'm wording on my first set of docs via M$, I have lost any sense of nostalgia whatsoever (yeah, that was a typo back there - supposed to be "working", but I like it - using M$Word is worse than "work"). I've already fired Clippit, and kicked the hell out of any office assistance whatsoever. No, thank you, I meant to double-click there, no damn lightbulb needed to tell me there was nothing there. It's called "placing the cursor on the next available line by clicking the relative location in the middle of the page" and it's a hell of a lot more efficient than finding the exact spot where you might want me to click.
Thankfully, Clippit & Co. are there to help me. I don't know what I'd do if they were actively trying to harass me.
Well, I know what I'd like to do - fdisk & install a *nix... or use a Mac... or just get a magnet and edit the contents of the hard drive by hand... or flip burgers...
